The Question of the Day

Well, here we go again! Rain! Ugh, I am so tired of the stuff, so much so that I’m getting downright depressed. Truth be known the dreary weather is not the true culprit of my depression, but heck, it sure doesn’t help it one I-otta. Things have been a little unsteady for the last week,…

Cooking The Goose!
